Does the XFX card run the bios that doesn't allow you to change the voltage or fan speed?

I had no problem changing the fan speed on the XFX. i assume the voltage is equally tweakable but i honestly never tried.

Might be considering it, just having a hard time deciding which card would be best. XFX card has the double lifetime warranty but not sure if I like that revision.

If you want to OC like mad, the HIS is the way to go, it showed all signs of being very friendly about being abused. It was difficult to resist the urge. :) It ran very cool and OC'd at default voltage very easily.

I didn't push it past default voltages to see how far it could go however. My gut told me 1.0 gig with tweaking. I didn't have the time to find out. Wish i did. I need the money more now. Some times Real Life(TM) sucks.

The XFX is a solid card, and that double warranty is awesome, it basically makes it like anyone buying it is getting a new card warranty wise. I also have the packaging and the free copy of AVP that came with it still. So thats a bonus.

I have that revision. Works great and runs cool.

Would love to pick up one of these to run tri-fire.....my wife would probably end me though.
